  • Barbaric Methods Used to Force Practitioners to Renounce Falun Gong at Beijing Women's Prison (Drawings)

    The third section of the prison is for the detention of violent criminals who are serving long prison sentences. The criminals consider earning "merit points" and reducing their punishment as their main purpose in life. If they help in "transforming" Falun Gong practitioners, they can earn four points each day, and they can enjoy some special treatment such as having a longer time to wash their faces and brush their teeth, freedom to move around and extra food. If a prison guard "transforms" a Falun Gong practitioner, he will receive a large bonus and buy some food for the prisoners that helped him to "transform" the practitioner.

    Since July 20th, 1999, Falun Gong practitioners, including my mother Li Hua and my step-father Huang Shengjie, have been subject to various forms of persecution by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). In February 2006, the police took my mother and my step-father away from their home. The police charged my mother in court and requested a two and a half year prison sentence.

At the same time, my step-father is also unlawfully detained at an unknown place.

    In 28 months, the perpetrators used over ten different methods to torture me including "Back lock" where one arm crosses the front of the body, while the other crosses behind the back, and the hands are locked together behind the back. The neck is tied to the feet with rope, making it impossible to raise the head. One's body cannot sustain such a position, and after over forty minutes, I was sweating all over, and my heart could not bear it any longer. I was only unlocked after they realised that I would die if the torture continued.

When the tube did not reach my stomach, they forced my teeth open with a screwdriver. Then they put a bamboo barrel with a very sharp end into my mouth with a lot of force. My mouth hurt immediately. After that, they force-fed me with food or condensed salt water. I felt like choking. After they finished the forced-feeding, I felt as if I had died.
  • A Letter Written by Mr. Wang Gang, Crippled from Torture, from Baoding Prison, Hebei Province

    During my ten days of solitary confinement, the people who watched me were not allowed to speak to me. They only gave me a little water. Sometimes they would not even allow the people who were watching me to speak or give me water. During this period, the prison director Gao Ying was personally responsible for torturing me. When the captain of my brigade wanted to visit me, he had to get permission from Gao Ying. They wanted to "transform" me using this method, or they would tie me to the bed for 15 to 30 days. That bed had metal corners, three iron bars on the wooden board, two foot shackles, and a very wide waist belt. Both of my hands were cuffed to the bed.

  • The Persecution of Ms. Yu Xiulan in the Harbin City Women's Prison in Heilongjiang Province

    On December 1st, 2003, wardens dragged 25 practitioners who were firm in their belief in Dafa to the courtyard and let them stay in the cold. The Prison Director forced the practitioners to run. They beat the practitioners if they stopped running. They also cut the practitioners' hair short and rolled up their sleeves to expose their ears and arms to the cold air. Some inmates forced practitioners to lay on the snow. They took off the practitioners' winter coats and left them only in their undershirts and underpants. The weather was 10 below zero Fahrenheit. Just imagine the pain that the practitioners experienced out in the snow in their undershirts for eight or nine hours.
